To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that ii, Gnome Wasnmoron CARVER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tuskegee, in the county of Macon and State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cosmetics and Processes of Prr-ducin the Same, of which the following is e s eci cation.

The invention re ates to cosmetics and has po1nade or cream made from peanuts. A iurther object of the invention is the provision of a process for making a pomade from peanuts which will provide a vanishing cream" of any desired or usual tint, the pomade or cream having powder combined therewith. To carry out the process, the peanuts may be utilized in their raw, boiled or blanched condition and are first ground or macerated in any desired manner to the fineness of peanut butter. If for any reason a granular pomade is desired the grinding of the peanuts is carried out only to the extent necessary to give the character desired to the finished product. When ground to the fineness of peanut butter as suggested the resulting product will be a perfectly smooth substance.

To the ground or macerated nuts taking as a basis one ounce of peanuts there is next added 100 c. c. of pure water either hot or cold which is well stirred in with the ground nuts.

The resulting mixture is then strained through a piece of cheese cloth with gentle ressure and is put on the stove or water ath and evaporated until the oil becomes plainly visible on the surface.

The resulting roduct may he used unmodified in the en es uent ste s or 2 c. c. of peanut oil may be ad ed and t e entire mass stirred until it becomes of the consistency of thick cream.

The material is then removed from the fire and ap roximately six rams of toilet powder such as kaolin, kao mite, or china clay (preferably having slight fullers earth pro erties) is added and the combined mass is t ioroughly mixed until it becomes a thick heavy cream.

A quantity of salicylic acid substantially the size of a small ea, it) drops of beuzoiu, and three or four rops of any desired perfume are then added. The mass thus ob- COSMETIC AND PROCESS OF PRODUCING THE SAME."

rained is finally ground or macerated until as absolutely smooth, if the smooth roduct is desired, and the product is packe in porcelain. or lass containers.

If desired the above process may he modified by omitting either the added eanut oil, or the toilet powders, or both. y r0 er choice of the toilet powder any desire co or may be given the product, from the dark brunette shades through the pinks, lavenders, to pure white.
